Veinstone
In ancient times, the tribes of Numeria exported a type of mineral known as veinstone. This stone was a particularly popular building material in Ancient Osirion, and the Four Pharaohs of Ascension constructed their true pyramid of it. The Ancient Osirians valued veinstone as a semi-precious stone, while today it is merely an interesting type of rock1 associated with the Aucturn Enigma.2
Description
Veinstone occurs naturally only in Numeria and parts of the River Kingdoms. The dense, light-green rock rippled with dark-green fissures is as hard as granite.1
